It is only the beginning of the hard times promised to us by the globalist elites of the New World Order Great Reset. The US may even be even “ahead” of the decline of Europe as far as the plunging standard of living goes. Over one third of full-time working families do not earn enough money to cover their basic living expenses, and are falling into debt, such as not meeting mortgage payments on time, and I expect that this will be the case soon in my old home, Australia. Not so long ago the horror statistic was that about the same number of people did not have $ 400 in reserve to meet expenses such as dental. It seems now that people may be forced to pull out their own teeth if in trouble or get Aunt Gertrude to do it with her pair of trusty, rusty, pliers, no improvised aesthetic such whiskey, that would be too expensive!
